- adrian_b 7y agoI have been using since 2016 the following setup: 1. QUANTUM LTO-7 Tape Drive, Half Height, Tabletop 2. Delock Cable Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 > Mini SAS SFF-8088 1 m 3. LSI LSI00343 SAS 9300-8E Host Bus Adapter (8-Port, PCI-e 3.0 8x, SAS 3.0) Also, there is a couple of useful tape accessories: 4. Cleaning Cartridge (I use one from Quantum) 5. Cases for storing LTO Ultrium cartridges (I use some from Turtle Case, for 20 cartridges each)
- adrian_b 7y agoI forgot to mention that the files that are written to tape should come from an SSD, because an HDD is not fast enough. The files can come from an SSD of a remote computer, if you use 10 Gb/s Ethernet, as that is fast enough.
